Streets squares and districts to visit Châteaudun

This hiking trail in the town of Chartres proposes you to discover this ancient fortified camp from the edge of the Loir. The walk begins on the 18-October square, from which you will descend to the river through the Revol Fountain and cave dwellings on the rue des Fouleries. You will then pass through the first course of the Loir to visit the island of Chemars, from where you can enjoy the view of the castle. You will return to the city by the Jardin des Grands-Moulins and the famous 200 steps of the Saint-Pierre descent, where the lavandières were drying their linen.

The city centre of Chartres has preserved the physionomie of its construction: on a rocky spur, around its castle, the municipality stands out by streets drawn to the cord on one side of the square of 18-October, and very narrow and towed from the other side to the castle. On all sides of the city it is possible to have a superb view of the Loir valley since the river flows underneath. And at every corner of the upper city, you can discover very beautiful wooden houses that give Chartres a real stamp.
